Pauline Butcher and Frank Zappa @ ivoox.com Podcast

This week we take you all the way back to the 1960’s to a log cabin nestled in Laurel Canyon. Chanty tells Lynx the story of Pauline Butcher, Frank Zappa’s secretary. This episode is based on her
book: FREAK OUT! My life with Frank Zappa.

So how did a secretary from England come to work for, befriend and even live with Frank Zappa, his wife Gail and all of the “freaks” in Laurel Canyon? Who is Suzy Creamcheese? What was it like living
in a log cabin where anyone including Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful, Captain Beefheart, Graham Nash or Joni Mitchell might walk through the door on any given day?

To our squealing delight, we learn that Pauline became close with our beloved GTOs (The Girls Together Outrageously), documenting their formation, beginning and wacky time together. We remind our
listeners where the word “Groupie” came from and go back to a time when Hollywood was a trusting community and you just never knew who might stop by or what might happen.

Other notable characters we chat about this week is (of course) our amazing Pamela Des Barres (the most “professional” of the girls), Cynthia Plaster Caster, Miss Mercy, Christine (the Zappa’s
babysitter), Tiny Tim and like always- Eric Clapton. Take a break from the cold
February winter and join us in warm Laurel Canyon, it sure is a trip!

3 x CLASSIC ZAPPA DOCUMENTARIES NOW AVAILABLE AS A TRIPLE DISC SET

FRANK ZAPPA & MOI IN THE 1960s Critical review of the Mothers early output, focusing on the band's musical work in the 1960s. The film features contributions from a number of
band members plus LA wild man Kim Fowley, biographer Billy James, Zappa academic Ben Watson, music journalist Richie Unterberger, and many others. Also includes a wealth of archive footage and
interviews with Zappa himself and rare live performances.

FRANK ZAPPA - The FREAK LOUT LIST Documentary exploring the musical roots of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's Freak Out! album, tracing Zappa's favourite musicians as
listed on the album's liner notes. Based around archive film, performance footage, interviews with Frank and those close him, and analysis by esteemed experts, the film looks at the rich and varied
musical lineage that influenced Zappa's recordings.

FROM STRAIGHT TO BIZARRE ZAPPA, BEEFHEART, ALICE COOPER AND LA s LUNATIC FRINGE Desperate to remove himself from his original deal with Verve Records, in 1968 Frank Zappa set up
the Bizarre and Straight labels in league with manger Herb Cohen. So began a string of releases which remain extraordinary in the extreme. This film tells the extraordinary story of these labels
emergence, history and ultimate downfall.

Live...San Francisco

Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, live at the Fillmore West, San Francisco on November 6th 1970. In late 1970 Frank Zappa resumed touring with a reformed Mothers, including former
Turtles Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, and a stage show involving provocative comedy routines alongside typically complex music. Originally broadcast on KSAN-FM, this superb show performed at the
Fillmore West, San Francisco on 6th November 1970, features material from the forthcoming 200 Motels, older songs, jazz fusion, touches of Zappa s beloved doo-wop, and much more. With plenty of
ingenious musical flourishes, and rabble-rousing audience interactions, this historic gig is a must for Zappa fans. It’s presented here together with background notes and images.

The Bizarre World Of The Hologram Tour

It has just come to my attention the advertisement circulating for the proposed Frank Zappa Hologram Tour States my name as a guest. As I have not consented, this disclaims any involvement
whatsoever. Thank you.

PROJECT/OBJECT on tour again

​As always we give THANKS and pay tribute to the enormous body of work
left by Frank Zappa.

Just a soft announce here....PROJECT/OBJECT will hit the road in April and May of this year.

​Damn...sorry west coast peeps... try as we might we can only find a three week window, not enough time to get out that way. I promise we are trying to find
a creative way to get out to see you again . It's way, way WAY overdue...! These dates will be in the Northeast/Rustbelt USA, out to the Great Lakes area.

​SPECIAL GUESTS: on this one we bring back some old friends and touring partners. A special
reunion for them also; as they toured together with Zappa in the mid 70s. None other than the legendary vocalist/saxophonist NAPOLEON MURPHY BROCK, and master slide
guitarist DENNY WALLEY.

This unique combination of two of Zappa's most beloved Alumni, who just happen to be old friends, is not be missed. Both gentlemen are old touring pals and guests of Project/Object
going back to at least 2000, but they have never toured together with P/O. Zappa History Here, Again! => Tourdates

Frank Zappa’s 1982 European tour

was anything but conventional. Shows were booked in unusual venues with odd stage configurations that, on at least one occasion, contributed to violence breaking out... read more @ dangerousminds.net

Have A Little Tush (2Cd)

By early 1974 Frank Zappa was touring with a smaller band of musicians, albeit one still going under The Mothers Of Invention moniker. This ensemble variously included Ian Underwood (reeds,
keyboards), Ruth Underwood (vibes, marimba), Sal Marquez (trumpet, vocals), Napoleon Murphy Brock (sax, flute and vocals), Bruce Fowler (trombone), Tom Fowler (bass), Chester Thompson (drums), Ralph
Humphrey (drums), George Duke (keyboards, vocals), and Jean-Luc Ponty (violin), the majority of whom also appeared on Zappa s two albums released that year: March s solo LP Apostrophe, and September
s Roxy And Elsewhere (largely recorded live at the end of 73).

In the latter months of the 1974, he was out again, but now just with Murphy-Brock, Duke, Thompson and Ruth Underwood for reasons unknown husband Ian was not onboard. It was this line-up who
performed with Frank at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI on 23rd November, a show which was recorded for live FM Broadcast, albeit only by the University s own radio station, making
reception of the gig fairly limited in its geographical scope. This show is now available on this double CD set, a recording rarely heard before and one that Zappa fans will certainly wish to add to
their collections.

Released: 19th January 2018

Live In Barcelona 1988 (2CD)

Frank Zappa’s 1988 tour turned out to be his last. Many fans consider it to be FZ's best tour ever; the presence of horns, percussion and "stunt guitar" (not to mention the infamous Synclavier)
gave the band a tumbrel variety lacking in the synth-dominated '84 tour, and the proliferation of “secret words” made each show unique.

Unfortunately, the tour proved to be a turbulent experience for Zappa due to conflicts among the band members, and this ultimately cut short the existence of this lineup.

Don Preston, Mother of Keyboard Invention

Don has composed and played jazz since the 50s, was a Frank Zappa sideman through his classic 60s albums and beyond, and has since released 20+ albums, scored 20 films, and has performed with
artists including John Lennon, Lou Rawls, and Nat King Cole. He has also been called "the father of modern synthesis" for his work in electronic music.

Compositions by Frank Zappa

Heikki Poroila: „You are reading an enhanced (corrected, enlarged and more detailed) PDF edition in English of my printed book Frank Zappan sävellykset (Suomen musiikkikirjastoyhdistys 2015, in
Finnish).

I try to explain shortly the reasoning behind this yet-another-Frank-Zappa-monograph. The idea of listing all the compositions by Frank Zappa is an obsessive project typical for music librarians.
It was matured during the years I was forced to tell many Finnish Zappa fans that the book Zappa äänitteillä [Recorded Zappa, 1995] by me and HEIKKI KARJALAINEN was out of print and in no
circumstances was I willing to compile a new edition of its material.“
